Tino Livramento

Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento (23) is facing a race against time to be fit for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Chelsea after suffering a knee problem in midweek. The right-back was forced off during Wednesday’s 2-1 Carabao Cup victory over Fulham, raising immediate concerns given his history with knee injuries.

Livramento will be assessed over the coming days to determine the severity of the issue, but his availability for the weekend remains in doubt.

🎙️|Eddie Howe: “Tino’s injury is the big negative. We don’t know (how serious) but it’s not looking good. “It looks like a knee problem. He’s such an honest lad so it sends worrying signs that he said he had to come off.” (Source: Keith Downie, Sky Sports)

Update Tuesday 23 December 2025

🎙️|Eddie Howe: "It's a difficult one because there's quite a bit of information on Tino. We're waiting to get full clarification but, hopefully, it's not serious at all and he can resume training quite quickly...."Before confirming that, we want to be sure it's right. We haven't got clarity on that but hopefully it's good news."
